I'm in the home stretch of finishing this story. Hopefully I can crank it out by Christmas. Not much happens in this chapter. Except the all important fluff between our Doctors and their companions. REVIEW!

flames and kisses,

"Where are they?" Rose asked as she paced.

"Having fun investigating. Without us." Amy pouted, arms folded as she sat slumped on the couch.

"Investigating a possible murder by the way." Rory pointed out.

Sheepishly, Amy quickly said,

"Which is horrible and sad and I'll just shut up now."

"Ten quid they're blaming themselves. You know they need us." Clara said.

"I know. So what do we do?" Rose asked.

"We find them." Amy shrugged.

"How?" Rose asked.

"S.A.R.A.H.?" Clara asked standing up.

"Yes Clara Oswin Oswald?" S.A.R.A.H. replied.

"Just Clara thanks. Listen, are you linked into some kind of, I don't know...Eureka database that can track everyone in town?" Clara asked.

"I can scan the town for an individual's DNA and heat signature and then hack into the towns traffic cameras. It's how I keep track of the family's whereabouts." The AI house said.

"Nothing creepy about that." Rory muttered.

"Great. Do that then for the Doctors." Clara told S.A.R.A.H. S.A.R.A.H turned on her screen on the wall showing multiple street views of the Doctors running from a mob of teenage girls.

"Oh my gawd!" Amy cried.

"They're heading for the house!" Rory said seeing the bunker in the background.

"S.A.R.A.H. open the doors!" Rose yelled rushing for the doors. The doors opened automatically as the high pitch squeals of teenage girls hit their ears.

"Gah!" The Tenth Doctor cried out as the girls started to rip at their clothes.

"No no no!" The Eleventh Doctor cried as he and the Tenth Doctor tried to close the door behind them.

"Don't worry Doctors! I'll take care of this!" S.A.R.A.H. told them. A pair of high tech canons came out automatically from the roof of the house and from the side.

"S.A.R.A.H. don't!" Amy cried. But to their surprise it was just water that shot out of the canons, sending the crazed teenagers back with a shout allowing the Doctors to close the door behind them. They were a sight. Ripped clothes, untucked shirts missing buttons, hair a mess. Even the Eleventh Doctor's bow tie was in tatters. To Amy it rather looked like they had just escaped a crashing TARDIS. The Doctors stood there a moment, backs to the door and eyes wide as they caught their breaths.

"Doctor!" Rose called.

"Rose! Oh Rose it was horrible!" Ten cried coming down the stairs and embracing the blond in a tight hug. Eleven came down the stairs, tripped on the threshold and then crawled to embrace Clara round the waist while he was on his knees. Failing to realize his head rested between her breasts she was so short. Amy raised a brow upon seeing that.

"I'd rather face every Dalek ever created than face...fangirls!" Eleven said whispering the last word in fear.

"It's alright Doctor. You're safe now." Clara soothed him, brushing his hair back.

"Ugh! This has been a terrible day. First Dr. Peabody, then Kevin now this! I hate this! I just want to hop into a TARDIS and go far far away. But can I? No! I'm stuck in a town of super smart Whovians that won't give us a moment's peace." Ten ranted upon pulling back from Rose but not letting go of her hand.

"Whovi-what?" Amy asked.

"Whovians. Fans of Doctor Who." Rory replied.

"Kevin? Jack and Allison's son? What's wrong with him?" Rose asked.

"He had an episode at school today. It scared Allison Blake so much she lied to us." Eleven sighed getting to his feet.

"Allison? Why would she lie? She's done nothing but help us." Clara asked.

"But she's a mother. A mother will do anything to protect her child." Amy said folding her arms. Rory reached over to wrap a supportive arm around her and kiss her forehead.

"And it's not just Allison. Jack was hiding something too. Something called a 'bridge device.' Ten said.

"Come to think of it, Dr. Deacon was also being a bit cryptic. We were talking about time travel." Rory said.

"Yeah K9 found Autron energy around GD." Rose told them.

"We found the same thing at the Peabody farm." Eleven said.

"Was anything missing?" Rory asked.

"Don't know. They were still looking through the house. Probably won't know until Margo Peabody recovers. So Autron energy has been found everywhere something has appeared or disappeared. Maybe we're looking at this wrong. Maybe we should be asking how this is happening instead of who is behind it." Ten theorized as he paced.

"Isn't that what Sheriff Carter wanted you to look at in the first place?" Rory asked.

"That's when we thought that was the boring bit. How'd you know we were coming here?" Eleven asked.

"We had S.A.R.A.H. look for you through the town's traffic cameras." Rose replied.

"You can do that S.A.R.A.H.?" Ten asked.

"I can do nearly everything." S.A.R.A.H. replied.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ten asked Eleven.

"Usually. S.A.R.A.H. Show me a map of Eureka." Eleven said. The screen built into the wall showed the map.

"Okay show everyplace that reported an incident of missing items." Eleven said. Bright yellow dots covered the map like a Christmas tree covered in lights.

"Do you have the files on Autron energy from GD?" Ten asked.

"Yes Doctor." S.A.R.A.H. replied.

"Scan Eureka for all instances of Autron energy." Ten ordered. Blue dots overlapped the yellow dots, turning them green. Except for a big blue dot in the middle of town.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's that's?" Eleven asked.

"A large amount of Autron energy is coming from the old Barlowe Bed and Breakfast." S.A.R.A.H. told them.

"Then that's where we need to go." Ten said.

"Should we tell Jack?" Amy asked.

"Not right away. Let's keep some of our own secrets for a bit yeah? Come along Ponds and Clara. Help me pick out a new bow tie." Eleven said leading them up the stairs. Ten sighed and sat on the couch, rubbing his hands down his face.

Rose sat next to him and asked,

"You okay Doctor?"

"I'm not sure. One minute I'm facing my death, alone, saying to the TARDIS that I didn't want to go. The next I'm alive and told I have a brand new set of regenerations and I don't have to change my face. And I have you again. I should be over the Lost Moon of Poosh." Ten confessed.

"But no TARDIS and the possible murder isn't helping things." Rose guessed.

"Yeah. So how about you? Are you okay?" Ten asked.

"I'm fantastic remember?" Rose grinned, tongue touching teeth.

Ten beamed,

"Gawd I missed that smile."

"Seriously though. It's weird. Being in a world where I don't exist. Again. But Amy and Clara and Rory have been so lovely. I really like them. And I'm really looking forward to getting to know the other Doctor better. It'll be a whole new adventure. Plus I get to keep my promise to you." Rose said.

"Your promise?" Ten asked.

"I promised you forever remember?" Rose replied. Ten shifted closer to face her.

"Oh Rose. I missed you so much. I can't believe this is real." He said.

"Mmm neither can I." Rose shook her head.

"I have a bit of a confession to make. Remember that New Year's Eve before we met? Bloke in the shadows?" He said reaching up to brush a strand of her hair.

"No! That was you?" Rose asked.

"I was dying. I had to see you one last time. I had to see that smile." The Doctor said.

"Blimey. No wonder you have fangirls." Rose teased him.

She laughed when he rolled his eyes,

"Ugh. So glad you're enjoying this."

"Aww...my poor Doctor." Rose said stroking one of his sideburns.

"There was something else I wanted to do that night I saw you last. But I didn't want to cause a paradox." The Doctor said shifting closer.

"What's that then?" Rose asked leaning in. He looked to her lips. Her perfect pink lips. His lips began to hover near hers. She closed her eyes. Lips puckered, the Doctor was just about to brush his lips with hers when he heard a swell of romantic music. Etta James 'At Last' to be precise. Opening their eyes in confusion, Rose and the Doctor looked around, seeing a roaring fire in the fireplace, the living room lights dimmed low.

"Um...S.A.R.A.H.?" The Tenth Doctor asked scratching his neck.

"Don't stop on my account." S.A.R.A.H. replied. Ten and Rose looked at each other.

"This just got weird." Rose declared.

"Yeah..." Ten agreed as they got up and headed upstairs.

"Wait! Come back! Please! I've waited seven series for this!" S.A.R.A.H. pleaded, dousing the fire and turning on the lights. Amy and Rory passed them on the stair. Amy looked at how they were holding hands in consideration.

Upstairs in the master bedroom, Clara was sitting on the bed, waiting for the Doctor to come out of the bathroom.

"I'm serious Clara! Never in my two thousand years was I ever as scared as I was a while ago." the Doctor called.

"Oh they were just teenage girls you big baby!" Clara said. She watched the Doctor poke his coiffed head out of the bathroom, waving a toothbrush at her.

"At least none of my enemies ever tried to sexually assault me. Not yet anyway." he said poking his head back in.

"Well what do you expect? From what I can tell, between you and the Tenth Doctor these kids have grown up expecting this handsome madman to come whisk them away in a blue box for adventures. What girl wouldn't fall for that? Have to wonder how that will all play out when they cast an older actor in the role again. Even your Ninth Incarnation was cute. And the Eighth before him." Clara said picking up Allison's book from the nightstand. She raised a brow when he came out of the bathroom, in just his trousers, suspenders over his bare shoulders.

"Cute?!" the Doctor asked incredulously.

"Didn't you ever notice?" Clara asked.

"Clara I'm a Time Lord! Age, looks, that doesn't matter when you can change your entire cellular structure. At least when I could change my entire cellular structure. Now I can't. I'm stuck with this chin for the rest of my life." he said with realization.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm stuck with this chin for the rest of my life too." Clara said standing up and stroking his chin. He smiled softly. But he began to get nervous when she got closer.

"Of course...everything below and around the chin isn't too bad to look at." she said softly.

"Clara..."

"Hey blame yourself. I'm not the one that looks like he's on his way to church." Clara joked.

Realizing he was half naked before her, the Doctor covered his nipples with his hands and said,

"Stop it!"

"Stop what?" Clara asked innocently.

"Thinking." he replied.

"What am I thinking Doctor?" Clara asked with a purr.

The Doctor blushed,

"Stop it!"

"No." Clara said in defiance before laughing and leaving her room with a flick of her hair over her shoulder.

"Impossible Girl...whose skirts are still just a little...tight..." the Doctor mused before blushing again.


"Rory?" Amy asked her husband as she paced the living room.

"Hmm?" Rory replied sitting on the couch to read a newspaper while they waited.

"What do you think of Rose and Clara? And the Tenth Doctor?" She asked.

"They seem nice." Rory shrugged.

"But do you think Rose and the Tenth Doctor are awfully close? Like he looks at her the way you look at me in a skirt?" Amy pressed.

"Well..." Rory said distracted by her legs a moment.

"And the Doctor. Our Doctor. I've seen him looking at Clara the same way. Do you think they're all coupled up?"

"What if they are?" Rory shrugged.

"The Tenth Doctor was a past incarnation of our Doctor. Which means if the Tenth Doctor had...has...feelings for Rose, then our Doctor might have feelings for her. But if he does why would he look at Clara the same way?" Amy queried.

"Okay...not getting it." Rory shook his head.

"We need to find out what their relationships are to each other." Amy said.

"Why?" Rory asked.

"Our daughter loved him. I need to know that she just wasn't another notch on the Doctor's belt." Amy said.

"Would this be the same belt you tried to be a notch on?" He asked.

"I will kick you." Amy warned him.

"Seriously. What's the real reason?" Rory asked knowingly.

"That is the real reason." Amy insisted.

"Amy..." Rory fixed her a look.

Amy growled, running her hands through her hair,

"Fine! I hate not knowing!"

"There's the woman I know and love." Rory nodded.

"You're asking for a kick." Amy muttered.

"Fine. What do we need to do?" Rory sighed.

"We have to be subtle. First chance we get we get each of them alone. Get them talking." Amy said.

"Right." Rory nodded.

"Unless you know anything S.A.R.A.H.? I mean you have watched the show." Amy asked the smart house.

"Sorry. Dr. Fargo removed my ability to gossip when I spilled the beans about your existence." S.A.R.A.H. told them.

"Little late, but appreciated." Rory said.

"Oh come on! Between us girls. What's going on with the Doctors and the other companions?" Amy asked cajolingly.

Before S.A.R.A.H. could respond, the Doctors (now dressed in new clothes) Rose and Clara descended the stairs.

"Okay. Molte bene! Let's find us a source of Autron energy." Ten said.

"Come along Ponds." Eleven said.

"Wait. What about your fangirls?" Clara asked.

"Oh I'm sure they've all gone home by now." Ten said opening the door.

"AAAEEEEIIIIII!" came the screams from outside.

Ten closed the door. Eleven tried to hide behind Clara again.

"Anyone else got any ideas?" Ten asked sheepishly.

"There's got to be a way out of here. Is there a back door S.A.R.A.H?" Rory asked.

"Check under the rug in the kitchen." S.A.R.A.H. replied. Amy got to the rug first and pulled it away, revealing a trap door.

"Got it!" she said pulling it open.

"Jack had it installed after my old military AI software took over the house." S.A.R.A.H. told them.

"Bet there's a story." Rose said.

"Explains the water cannons at least." Ten said shining a torch down the hole.

"They used to be lasers." S.A.R.A.H. added.

"Bit of an improvement then." Clara said.

"Right. Love a tunnel. Rose, you'll find there is only one cool thing to say when presented with a tunnel like this one." Eleven said straightening his bow tie.

"What's that Doctor?" Rose asked.

"Geronimo!" the Eleventh Doctor cried jumping into the hole.

"Doctor!" Amy cried.

"Watch out for the..." Ten began.

A metallic clang was heard followed by an,

"Oww!"

"...ladder..." Ten finished.

"Doctor? You alright?" Clara called down.

"Adric? Is that you?" Eleven groaned from below.

"Right. We better get down there before he makes himself regenerate again. Allonsy!" Ten said leading the way, properly going down the ladder.


"Do you really think lying to the Doctors was wise Sport?" Trent asked as he and Jack watched Allison fuss over Kevin in the med lab.

"You know as well as I do that if anyone were to find out about our little trip, there'd be trouble." Jack said softly.

"I know. But I watched the show a lot while I was in London. From what I've seen, whenever someone keeps the truth from the Doctor, they end up getting burned." Trent said.

"That was a TV show!" Jack insisted.

"And now it's main characters are real. We've entered a whole new realm Carter. One that's almost supernatural." Trent said.

"There has to be a reason behind all of this. So how have your last few days been?" Jack asked.

"You know when I bought GD and named Henry the director, I thought it was the best for everyone if he handled the science and I handled the politics. But the headache I've developed in the last seventy two hours tells me otherwise." Trent sighed.

"A headache named Mansfield by chance?" Jack asked.

"The General's beginning to ask questions Jack. Especially since he's heard intel that the Consortium is stirring things up again." Trent said.

Jack's cell phone began to ring,

"That's all we need...Carter? On my way Henry."

"Go. They'll be fine." Trent said. Jack nodded and left the lab leaving Trent to consider the beautiful woman and her bright son. Jack was a lucky man. He wished he could find a smart, intelligent woman like Allison. Then his cell rang.

"Rockwell. Okay. Fargo, calm down! Where are you? Section five? Okay I'm on my way." He told the young scientist as he walked out of the lab.

Meanwhile, Jack found Henry in the autopsy lab, looking over the dead corpse of Dr. Peabody.

"Got something?" Jack asked.

"Yeah. Dr. Peabody died of a heart attack. Brought on by an electric shock." Henry explained.

"So it was natural? What about Margo?" Jack asked.

"She's out of surgery. And her surgeon says that she also had a heart attack consistent with electric shock." Henry said.

"So...it wasn't natural?" Jack asked furrowing his brow.

"Well it wasn't murder. Fargo helped me translate the rest of Dr. Peabody's notes. Apparently he had built a miniature particle collider. A machine designed to study particles by accelerating them in a focused beam created by a large amount of kinetic energy. And he was using his to test his theory on creating a black hole by exposing a lab created star to gamma radiation to compact it's mass and create it's own gravitational field to cause a deformity in spacetime." Henry explained.

"So...it wasn't murder?" Jack asked confused.

"It was an accident! The damage Peabody's heart had was brought on suddenly. The machine must have created a disturbance in the atmosphere inside the Peabody's house to generate an electrical discharge." Henry said.

"So inside lightning storm?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Henry nodded.

"Wait. The Doctors told me that Peabody was just in the planning stages." Jack said.

"First rule Jack. The Doctor lies. They probably think that humans shouldn't have access to time travel so they want to find the particle collider first." Henry guessed.

"I guess we're going to have a little chat later..." Jack said clenching his jaw.

"I'm sure they have good intentions Jack." Henry said.

"Yeah. So indoor lightning storm means it was an accident. Then why wasn't anything else in the house fried? And where is this machine of his? It wasn't at the house." Jack asked.

"Our CSIs found fingerprints at the scene. Very familiar fingerprints. " Henry said bringing up a photo of an attractive middle aged woman with auburn hair on his computer.

"Beverly Barlowe." Jack sighed.

"She's back. And if she was at that house after Peabody was killed, she's got a way to create an Eye of Harmony Jack." Henry told him.

"Crap..."Jack sighed as his phone rang. Jack answered it, saying,

"Carter."

"Jack. It's Trent. Fargo and Dr. Martin found something in Section Five that you need to see." The man sighed on the other end of the call.

"On my way." Jack said leaving autopsy. He made his way to Section Five, but the second he got off the elevator and saw Holly crying in Fargo's arms, he got worried. Trent approached him like he would a caged tiger.

"Now Jack you've got to stay calm." Trent told him.

"What is it?" Jack said pushing past him. He froze. A group of scientists were in full body suits and examining three figures. Figures frozen in place as if time had just stopped. It was Zane, Jo, and...

"Zoe..." Jack whispered in shock seeing his daughter's frozen face.
